So Far Behind!

Well it has been nearly a month since my last post, so I'd better make up for lost time with some images from a couple of my wonderful clients! This is M and L, M was taken (obviously!) this past summer when there was some green on the ground and in the trees. L was an October shoot.

L could be a poster boy for Ralph Lauren Baby!

Old Photos in a New Light

I've been sorting through old photos on my hard drive. Well, I guess they aren't that old, but I've never even looked at some of them. That's one of the problems with digital photography. I have always been a "take first, ask later" kind of photographer. I took nearly 1000 images at a wedding this summer! So, to actually go through and pull out some for printing is a daunting but rewarding task. I've also improved in my photo editing editing skills, hence the "new light" part. Here's where I'm at...

K received this Lego truck from Great Aunt Gail, and the first thing she said to him was "Don't ride it!" You can see how well that worked out...

The "Dandelion Series" was a fun one, but we sure went through a lot of dandelions trying to get the right "poof"!

K and Pawpaw discussing nuclear physics (or something like that!) at Pawpaw's house renovation project.

I have no idea why he was so upset. It was just one of those mornings.

Alum Creek fun!

A birthday party at the park.

One of my favorites, K and Joe.

Uhoh he turned the camera around.
Looks like I have a budding photographer on my hands!

The Buckeye Central Scenic Railroad

The railroad is in trouble. Please visit their site to see how you can help save this piece of history.

Memphis - A Photo Fiesta!

Memphis is so real. That's the only word I can think of to describe it. It is full of life, emotion, hospitality and people, my favorite things to photograph!



Beale street is 180 degrees from most touristy places, and I loved it. I took so many photos I had to buy a new memory card while I was there. Luckily I was at a PHOTOGRAPHY conference and trade show, so memory cards were readily available!



These two little men did backflips down Beale and I just had to get their portrait.




The food was phenomenal! Denise and I found a little place called Bigfoot Lodge across from the hotel that served fried dill pickles and bbq egg rolls. THE BEST! I'm considering another trip to Tennessee just so I can visit that place.



Southern hospitality isn't a myth either. Even housekeeping in the hotel had a cheerful "Good Morning" at 6am!



A few more of my favorites...

Granville Maker's Market

The Granville Maker's Market is every Saturday at the Baptist Church in Granville from 9:30-12:30. There's always a wonderful selection of local artists and craftspeople and the farmer's market is right across the street. The event helps benefit the Woodlands as well. I won't be attending every week, but if you'd like to come out contact me and I'll let you know if I'm going to be there. You'll have the chance to chat and look at some of my fine art prints as well as purchase special gift baskets for $50 that include a $100 gift certificate. Hope to see you there some Saturday!

Congratulations to Crystal and Robbie 6-23-07. I had a great time shooting your special day!

UCP Golf Outing

I was blessed to be a part of UCP's 8th annual People of Promise Golf Outing on June 11th. We had perfect weather and the golf course at the Lakes was absolutely gorgeous.

This was the first year offering commemorative photographs to all the teams, so Heather Dean and I commandeered a golf cart and followed each foursome to the course. After about three hours we finally had everyones photo so we rushed to Cord Camera where they printed all 144 photos in just under an hour. Back to the Lakes we went to stuff 144 frames and we finished up just as the golfers began arriving at the clubhouse.

The photos were a hit!

I couldn't have done it without Heather, Gina and the rest of the great staff and volunteers at UCP. They truly are a wonderful group of people, dedicated to those with disabilities.

From their website: "United Cerebral Palsy of Central Ohio is a private, non-profit agency whose mission is to provide an environment where people with disabilities and aging conditions receive individualized programs and support services."
